Hi Guys
Let me start with my system spec so it makes as much sence as poss.
Pentium D 2x3.6GHZ
3 Gig DDR2 Ram at 4300 556Mhz
Geeforce 7900GT 256Mb
Sata 250Gig HDD
Asus p5LD2 SE Motherboard with intel 945 Bridge
Built by myself.....i have included this to indicate i know what i am doing.
FS9 In Win-xp will run silly frame rates all day long with all sliders MAXED and lots of add ons, so i was quite confident that FSX would run well, after all its a decent machine.......
So FSX At EGCC (my local) was 15fps (to me that doesnt seem right with the hardware i have,anyone else agree?)
So i used the auto get fixes and got 17FPS........
Tried KLAX and got 8FPS
Sort of gave up hope after that.
Then Remembered what people had been saying regaring vista and dx10, then remembered that i have RC2 (miles better than RC1) and that RC2 had DX10 Installed (as such it runs other games like slide shows, my Battlefield 2 get 99FPS in xp and 10 in VISTA) so i created another partition and installed RC2,Installed all the vista drivers ETC and then the Demo 2 (didnt want to use my FSX 2nd activation just yet) Barring Auto Gen hit everything to top whack and was shocked to see 35 FPS at Princess Juliana Airport, Took off did some circuits and it didnt drop below 35FPS
So as i write this i am installing the full version and will updat you all as soon as i can.
Hope this helps some people out.
